MerMay 2024 Clear Review

 Hi Everyone

Here is my latest DT creation for Sweet November Stamps

 

 

 

If I am here with a card featuring a past Mermaid clear stamp then that can only mean that next Saturday is the Mermay Clear Release.  I am soooooo excited.  This and the Halloween are my two favourite Sweet November Clear Releases.  I just Love them!!!!

You can see all the past review cards and a little sneak peek of whats coming up next weekend in the Friends of Sweet November Facebook Group

The Mermees are Back clear stamp set was my absolute favourite of the MerMay clear releases last year and so I just had to use one of those gorgeous girls with her lighthouse for my review card.  I have coloured this whole scene using Copics and a White Gel Pen

The sentiment is another clear stamp but you can find it in the Royal Treatment Set

A Wish and a Splash

 Hi Everyone

 

Here is my latest DT project for Conie Fong Art and as it's May it just had to be a Mermaid

 

 

This Mermaid is new to the store and you can find her 

The background was inspired by Amy Young and you can find her wonderful cards all HERE on her Blog.  She also has many background videos to go with her cards and you can find the links in her posts

If you would like to have a go at drawing a mermaid yourself then check out the Draw With Conie YouTube Channel where there is a video of how to draw a simple mermaid

I coloured this whole card using Copics and the fish and the sentiment are clear stamps from

 Sweet November Stamps

Monochromie Gnomie

 Hi Everyone

Here is my latest DT creation for Sweet November Stamps

 

 

 

This is my final reminder for this month for the Anything Goes/Pink Challenge that is happening now in the Friends of Sweet November Facebook Group

I decided to make the Pink stand out for this card rather than add lots of pink over the whole image.  It has been a while since I coloured Monochrome and it was fun to revisit this technique

The Gnome image is called Li'l Gnomie Gnaomi and I used the wall from the Castle Scene Builder Digi Set to create this scene

Gaming Life of a 12 Year Old

Hi Everyone

I am here to share with you the card I have made for my Youngest Son's Birthday which is on Friday this week!  He is a gamer like so many 12 year olds and so this image was totally perfect.  He is always saying "Gaming is my Life" when we tell him to go out and get some fresh air and get off the screen lol

You can find this digi image in the All Dressed Up store HERE 

I coloured it up using Copics and used some alphabet/number peel offs to add the 123 go to the TV screen

They Cloned Tyrone

Hi Everyone

I was so pleased to win a recent challenge at The Dream Factory and be invited to be this months Guest Designer 

When Rosi contacted me with the details of this challenge I was like OMG.  I have never heard of this movie, but you actually have a lot of scope for this theme as you can use anything more than once, so image, embellishment, pattern etc and you can really think outside the box.  I hope that you can get your thinking caps on and come and join in with us this month.

The Movie is called They Cloned Tyrone and this is the Movie Poster in case you want to use it for inspiration which is exactly what I did

I went for this Image called Zodiac Girl - Gemini from Sweet November Stamps as the twins image is just perfect for this theme

I coloured it up using Copics and the sentiment is a clear stamp from Woodware

It has been a while since I have had time to do one of Amy Youngs background videos but recently she has done a couple of cards showing the layered trees/bushes and I really wanted to have a go at that.  Let's just say she makes it look soooo easy lol.  I am quite happy with it for a first attempt. If you would like to try this layered technique then you can find the video I used HERE  I will be trying these again. Practice Practice Practice that's what she says lol!

The cute unicorn character is a digi stamp called Misty Melody and I coloured her and this whole scene using Copics.  I added a touch of sparkle to her horn using a clear star gelly roll pen and used a Sakura White Gel Pen to add the magical crosses/dots

The sentiment is a clear stamp from Circa Designs
